ABOUT THE STORY

Charlie is a keen sportsman and has previously reported for BBC News School Report about his passion for wheelchair tennis

He will be writing about the Paralympics on the School Report website throughout the Games

It has been a great day for smashing records with Ellie Simmonds winning in the 400m freestyle in the pool, completing her race in a world record time of 5:19.17. What a fantastic achievement.

It was also a great day in the velodrome with the Storey household bringing home two gold medals for GB. Dinner in the Storey household will taste sweeter tonight!

Seeing Samuel Ingram at breaking point after winning silver and in his mind losing gold was hard to watch for me. It shows the amount of effort, determination and emotion that goes into each sport. I really felt for him.

I also found it extraordinary to watch Libby Clegg run the 100m so well with a guide. That just proves that the only disability is your attitude. People with no impairments that complain about their bodies should think about these athletes and realise how lucky they are.

Good to see the men's basketball get their first win today. I hope that kickstarts their campaign.
